I have a html contact form and during the action it calls a php script. In the php script I have:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
// Sends Email
$email_to = "name@email.com";
$email_subject = "Subject";
and then the rest of the php code.
What I am looking to do though is give the user a set of options of who they want to send the email to. I prefer a drop down box, but have been unable to do this. I looked in other posts, but I just found how to send it to multiple people instead of the one the user has selected. Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your response.

In addition...
The emails would be entered and not pulled from a database. Can I scramble them into hexadecimal?
Simply you can do it by emails with separating commas,
like:
$email_to = "name@email.com,abc@xyz.com,bdc@mnq.com, nnn@nnn.nnn";
Ok, this is pretty straight forward.
1) Maka a dropdown list in your form:
<form action="script.php">
<select name="to_email_index">
<option value="0" selected>Support</option>
<option value="1" selected>Feedback</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Send"/>
</form>
2) Then, use $_GET or $_POST variable:
if (!isset($_GET['to_email_index']))
exit("Error");
$to_email = "support@me.com";
if ($_GET['to_email_index']=="1")
$to_email = "feedback@me.com";
3) Now, just proceed as usual. You can add as many options as you want :)
